Hi, I've a few problems with the new 0.2 PC release. Am I the only one?

First, when loading any save from 0.1 (tried with "save now" end, and other saves), I get a missing PNG-Error (Full Traceback omitted):

While loading <renpy.display.im.Image object ('gui/GALLERY0.png') at 0x000000000c185190>:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 499, in __call__
    renpy.load(fn)
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?

Second, when placing a blank PNG in the folder, the Error changes a little:

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 499, in __call__
    renpy.load(fn)
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?

Third, I tried a new game with intention to skip through. But while meeting Anya and Olivia (first time in bar after Anyas BJ) I get a new Error when Anya is talking with her twin:

While running game code:
Exception: Sayer 'cc' is not defined.
-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------
Full traceback:
  File "script.rpyc", line 2186, in script

Is ignoreable as "cc" doesn't say much. But so many Errors just at the start is a little demoralizing. Who knows what else might come up.

Can anybody acknowledge or deny my problems with his version?

Hi NoGlory, thanks for quick reply. Looks like I'm not the only one with the issue: https://itch.io/post/12696784 If there is anything I can do to help you debugging, please let me know. I've uploaded my save from version 0.1 (where it says to save now - see screenshot) at: https://gofile.io/d/u0zKtQ

And by the way, i really liked your story and appreciate your adult characters and setting. No cliche Story. And your dedication and efforts to little details like making so many renders for every moving scene is also worth mentioning.

Lovely, glad to hear about this. Second, do you played 0.1.5? Or you played first 0.1? Cause different between them is.... Saves from 0.1 not works correctly in 0.2, unfortunately i changed a lot stuff in the first chapter that was a reason

Was definetly 0.1 and not 0.1.5. I finished 0.1 on 6 January, but 0.1.5 came out afterwards and was just a rewrite. So i didn't bother to replay it (just a few days later). And i store the played version as comment in my collection, so I know in the future where i need to continue. But good to know that 0.1 saves are not compatible. I suggest you write a big hint in your frontpage for other poor souls like me. ;-)

Yeah, I agree. I'll write this just in time for 0.2.5, it should be available by the end of next week. And in the future, if saves don't work, I'll add a skip function where you just have to select variables. Lovely :D

Perfect idea. I'll wait for 0.2.5 and the skip function then. Thank you for help and efforts!

One thought regarding this function: Some other VN offer a "skip to version xy" function. Never needed it, so I cant say if it is something others will be happy about. At least in future when you are at 0.5 or whatever, for now with only 0.2 it's no real use for it but maybe later. Might not be much difference to implement the skip function with or without version selection, especially if you know it from the start you want to implement it like this.
